Description

  • This application is a National Stage completion of PCT/EP2009/059149 filed Jul. 16, 2009, which claims priority from German patent application serial no., 10 2008 040 491.8 filed Jul. 17, 2008.
    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention concerns a device for mounting a hybrid transmission comprising a transmission unit and a hybrid module onto an internal combustion engine.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The main components of a drivetrain of a motor vehicle are a drive assembly and a transmission unit. The transmission transforms torques and speeds, and thereby converts the traction force produced by the drive assembly into a form that can be used at the wheels of the motor vehicle.
  • Besides a drive assembly with a fuel-powered or internal combustion engine, a drivetrain with hybrid drive also comprises a hybrid module with an additional drive assembly in the form of an electric motor. The unit consisting of the hybrid module and the transmission is also called a hybrid transmission. The hybrid module and transmission unit has to be mounted on the internal combustion engine using a device for mounting the hybrid transmission on the internal combustion engine.
  • In solutions known from the prior art, a device for mounting a hybrid transmission on an internal combustion engine comprises a torsion damper by means of which a transmission shaft of the hybrid transmission is coupled to a flywheel of the internal combustion engine. In the devices known from the prior art, the torsion damper is connected directly to the transmission shaft of the hybrid transmission, and to do this a hub of the torsion damper is clamped onto the transmission shaft of the hybrid transmission. But if the diameter of the transmission shaft is relatively large, this connection between the hybrid transmission and the internal combustion engine via a conventional torsion damper presents difficulties.
  • There is therefore a need for a device for mounting a hybrid transmission onto an internal combustion engine, by virtue of which, when standard torsion dampers are used, the hybrid transmission can be mounted on the internal combustion engine in a simple and space-saving manner even when the transmission shaft of the hybrid transmission has a large diameter.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • Starting from there the present invention addresses the problem of providing a new type of device for mounting a hybrid transmission comprising a transmission unit and a hybrid module onto an internal combustion engine.
  • According to the invention, the torsion damper can be connected to the transmission shaft by a connecting element, the connecting element having a first section with a relatively small diameter onto which a hub of the torsion damper can be clamped, and a second section with a relatively large diameter in which the transmission shaft engages via driving splines.
  • With the device according to the invention for mounting a hybrid transmission on an internal combustion engine, the torsion damper is coupled to the transmission shaft not directly as is usual in the prior art, but indirectly by means of a connecting element. The connecting element has a first section with a relatively small diameter onto which the hub of the torsion damper is clamped. Furthermore, the connecting element has a section with a relatively large diameter to which the transmission shaft can be connected by virtue of driving splines. This makes it possible to use a standard torsion damper for mounting the hybrid transmission on the internal combustion engine, even when the diameter of the transmission shaft is large.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • Preferred further developments of the invention emerge from the description given below. Example embodiments of the invention, to which it is not limited, are explained in more detail with reference to the drawing, which shows:
  • FIG. 1: Part of a hybrid module of a hybrid transmission together with a device for mounting the hybrid transmission on an internal combustion engine; and
  • FIG. 2: The device for mounting a hybrid transmission on an internal combustion engine, shown in isolation
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • FIG. 1 shows part of a hybrid module 1 of a hybrid transmission together with a device 2 according to the invention for mounting the hybrid transmission on an internal combustion engine. The hybrid module 1 comprises an electric motor, of which FIG. 1 shows the stator portion 3 and the rotor portion 4.
  • The stator portion 3 comprises a stator housing 5, a stator bush 6 and a stator lamination stack 7. The rotor portion 4 comprises a main rotor body 8 and a rotor lamination stack 9. In addition, the hybrid module 1 of the hybrid transmission comprises a transmission shaft 10 mounted radially by means of a bearing 11 on a housing section 12 of the hybrid module 1.
  • The device 2 according to the invention for mounting the hybrid transmission by means of its hybrid module 1 onto the internal combustion engine, of which only a flywheel 13 is shown here, comprises a torsion damper 14 with a torsion spring 15 and a hub 16. The torsion damper 14 is connected to the flywheel 13 by a connecting element in the form of a connecting diaphragm 17.
  • According to the invention, the torsion damper 14 is coupled or connected to the transmission shaft 10 of the hybrid module 1 or hybrid transmission indirectly, by means of a connecting element 18 in the form of a reducing section. The connecting element 18 made as a reducing section has a first part 19 with a relatively small diameter onto which the hub 16 of the torsion damper 14 can be clamped. In addition, the connecting element 18 made as a reducing section has a second part 20 with a relatively large diameter, with which the transmission shaft 10 engages by virtue of driving splines 21 between the connecting element 18 and the transmission shaft 10. The driving splines 21 allow some axial compensation between the hybrid module 1 of the hybrid transmission and the internal combustion engine.
  • In the example embodiment illustrated, the driving splines 21 are designed such that outer splines on the transmission shaft 10 engage in inner splines 22 of the connecting element 18, the inner splines 22 being formed on the second part 20 of the connecting element 18 made as a reducing section.
  • To clamp the tension damper 14, namely its hub 16, onto the first part 19 of the connecting element 18 a clamping element 23 is used, which is mounted radially by means of a bearing 24 on the flywheel 13 of the internal combustion engine. The bearing 24, which can also be called a pilot bearing, can also serve as a bearing for the transmission shaft 10.
  • The driving splines 21 between the connecting element 18 and the transmission shaft 10 are lubricated with oil, and as shown in FIG. 1 the second part 20 of the connecting element 18 is therefore sealed relative to the housing section 12 by a sealing element 25 in order to prevent any outward leakage of oil.
  • To mount the hybrid transmission on the flywheel of the internal combustion engine, the device according to the invention or more precisely its torsion damper 14 is pre-fitted first, namely on one side on the flywheel 13 by means of the connecting diaphragm 17 and on the other side, by means of the clamping element 23, onto the part 19 of the connecting element 18, and then the hybrid transmission is coupled to the internal combustion engine by coupling the transmission shaft 10 and the connecting element 18 to one another by means of the driving splines 21.
